Social Media

Feeds, communities, and moderation at scale.

We build social platforms, community apps, and content moderation systems engineered to handle real-time feeds, viral spikes, and the moderation load that comes with scale.

Software built for feeds that never stop moving

Social platforms live or die on two things most products never have to fully solve at once: real-time performance at scale, and content moderation that protects users without killing engagement.

We build feed architectures, real-time messaging, and moderation pipelines designed around viral spikes and community growth, not just the steady, predictable traffic most software is architected for.

Industry challenges

What breaks social platforms once they move past a small, predictable user base.

Real-time Feed Performance

Feeds that lag or feel stale under load quickly lose user attention and engagement.

Unpredictable Viral Spikes

A single trending post can send traffic up 50x with almost no warning.

Content Moderation at Scale

Harmful content needs to be caught fast, but over-moderation drives away real users.

Notification Fatigue

Poorly tuned notification systems either miss important moments or overwhelm users into disabling them.

Fake Accounts & Bots

Bot networks and fake engagement quietly distort metrics and degrade community trust.

Data Privacy Expectations

Users expect meaningful control over their data and visibility, not buried settings menus.

Our solutions

How we design around the unpredictability that defines social products.

Real-time Feed Infrastructure

Event-driven architecture and caching layers built to keep feeds fast under sudden load.

Elastic, Auto-scaling Backend

Infrastructure that absorbs traffic spikes automatically instead of paging an engineer at 2am.

AI-assisted Content Moderation

Automated flagging combined with human review queues that scale with content volume.

Smart Notification Delivery

Relevance-ranked, frequency-capped notifications tuned to keep users engaged, not annoyed.

Bot & Fake Account Detection

Behavioral signals that flag inauthentic accounts before they distort your community.

Granular Privacy Controls

Clear, accessible settings that give users real control over their visibility and data.

AI & automation opportunities

Where AI creates the most leverage across feeds, moderation, and community health.

Personalized Feed Ranking

Surface the content each user is most likely to engage with, not just what's newest.

Automated Content Moderation

Flag policy violations in text, image, and video content before human review.

Bot & Fake Engagement Detection

Identify inauthentic accounts and engagement patterns in real time.

Trend & Virality Prediction

Spot content likely to spike early, so infrastructure and moderation can prepare.

Business benefits

Higher User Engagement

Fast, personalized feeds keep users coming back instead of bouncing to a competitor.

Safer Community Experience

Faster moderation response protects users and brand reputation at once.

Resilient Under Viral Load

Auto-scaling infrastructure keeps the platform up during your biggest traffic moments.

Key features

Live updates and messaging that stay fast even under heavy concurrent load.

AI-assisted Moderation Queue

Prioritized review queues combining automated flags and human judgment.

Creator & Community Tools

Analytics, monetization, and engagement tools built for creators and community leads.

Granular Privacy & Visibility Controls

User-level control over who sees what, without a confusing settings maze.

Success stories

Two examples of the kind of outcomes our social platforms drive.

Community Platform

Surviving a viral traffic spike without downtime

Challenge: A community platform's infrastructure crashed during an unexpected viral moment, taking the app offline for hours at its highest-traffic point.

Solution: We re-architected their backend with auto-scaling infrastructure and event-driven feed delivery built to absorb sudden spikes.

Traffic spike absorbed with zero downtime
Niche Social App

Cutting harmful content response time for a niche social app

Challenge: A growing social app relied entirely on manual moderation, leaving harmful content live for hours at a time.

Solution: We deployed an AI-assisted moderation pipeline that flags likely violations instantly for prioritized human review.
